News From Bromham - Dateline Sunday 18th August 2013

Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline – Sunday 18th August 2013

Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:

1.       After an almost three-month gap, football returned to the Parish yesterday. Bromham Casuals, under long-serving manager Benny Dogleash, kicked off their new season in the Premiership Germolene  League (West Wiltshire, Northern Section), hoping yet again to gain the promotion that their tens of die-hard fans have long yearned for.  Things did not go to plan, however.  After irascible striker Dwayne Mooney was yet again shown the red card for foul and abusive language, the Owls slumped to a 6-1 home defeat to Whistley Wanderers.  Another hard, long season beckons.

2.       A high-profile right-of-centre Thinktank, based in the state capital of Trowbridge, has produced a coruscating report which throws doubt upon the viability of the proposed new High-Speed Tractor Path (HSTP2).  The controversial route, which would cut a swathe through parts of Minty’s Top, and the fields to the North of the village, has drawn large amounts of criticism. If built, the route would shave almost one minute off the journey time to the edge of the North fields.

3.       For details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local radio station Carrot FM.
